you can make a message box...but there is also a Blue GUI plugin for 12$ that makes more complex message boxes, that is if u want to go the 3rd partehhh dll route.

There is but it is only used for when your program terminates with an error message, it can't be used for general message boxes. It's part of the CORE command set.

The command you're reffering to is Exit Prompt

I've got a plug-in that allows the display of MessageBoxs anywhere (Exit Prompt will only work at the end of the program).

However, I have found a slight problem in that WAIT KEY (and the SUSPEND commands) ignores the first keypress after the MessageBox is closed (when using the mouse - its okay when using the keyboard for some reason).

Its not too much of a problem - just annoying.

you can either goto TATOADs site The Codeing Base
or you can download mine here
(if it ain't there come back in like 10mins, cause the ftp needs to refresh whenever i upload)

both do the same things so doesn't really matter which you go for.
